1. Introduction

pak999 takes the privacy and security of its users' personal data seriously. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how pak999 collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information relating to users of the pak999 platform, including the pak999 website, mobile application, and all associated gaming, betting, and account services.

This Policy applies to all users of pak999, including registered account holders and visitors who browse the platform without registering. By accessing pak999 or creating an account, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described herein.

This Policy is to be read alongside pak999's Terms & Conditions and Responsible Gaming policy, both of which contain provisions relevant to data processing. In particular, the KYC (Know Your Customer) verification requirements described in the Terms & Conditions directly affect the categories of personal data pak999 is required to collect and retain.

2. Personal Data We Collect

pak999 collects the following categories of personal data from users:

pak999 does not collect sensitive personal data such as biometric data (other than where a user voluntarily enables biometric login on their own device), religious or political beliefs, or health information, except where strictly required for responsible gaming assessments with the user's explicit consent.

3. How We Collect Your Data

3.1 Data You Provide Directly

The majority of personal data pak999 holds about you is data you have provided directly during account registration, KYC verification, deposit and withdrawal transactions, promotional participation, and communications with pak999 support.

When you make a deposit or request a withdrawal via JazzCash, Easypaisa, or a Pakistani bank, pak999 receives transaction confirmation data from the relevant payment provider, including transaction reference numbers, amounts, and timestamps. pak999 does not receive your full JazzCash or banking credentials — only the transaction confirmation necessary to process your account balance.

pak999 may receive data about users from fraud detection services and identity verification providers in connection with our legal obligations to prevent financial crime and enforce age restrictions.

6.4 Legal and Regulatory Disclosures

pak999 may disclose personal data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts where required to do so by applicable law, court order, or in connection with the investigation of financial crime, fraud, or other violations of our Terms & Conditions.

6.5 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of all or a substantial part of pak999's business assets, user personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction, subject to equivalent privacy protections remaining in place.

7. Data Retention

pak999 retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to the following retention principles:
